Home:
- Tutorial refresh: We've polished up the new user tutorial in Home to be more lightweight and dynamic, as well as offer rewards for completion. If you are not a new user and want to check it out, find it in your settings menu.
- UI revamp: We've updated the user interface for a consistent look and feel, and to make navigation and browsing more intuitive.
- Expressive Avatars Update: Avatars have been updated to simulate eye and mouth movement, making a simple conversation feel more dynamic. And with new outfits and customization options like eye color and lipstick, spending time with others in VR will feel more personal and authentic.
Dash:
- Screenshot capture in VR: Capture screenshots from inside your headset by pressing the 'screenshot' button located on the menu on the right side of your Dash belt. There is a 5 second timer to set the pose and position of the screenshot. Images will be saved out to your C:\Users\*User*\Pictures\ directory. Happy screenshotting!

Wouldn't PokerStarsVR be the last place you'd want facial expression? The old avatars had perfect poker faces.

Is ASW 2 active with existing apps that provide depth information or is there an additional step or re-compiling that has to be done by the devs?
I love the new layout of the Devices tab.
ASW 2 seems to be working very well! I forced it in Home, didn't notice any "waves". I did feel the letters felt a bit more blurry during motion though, but I don't know if it comes from this.
It's also nice to finally have eyes. I hated the glasses. Now I still wish we'd get back the features we lost. I'd like to make my night-colored cowboy dude again xD.
I didn't find the Screenshot button either.
A very nice update overall!
My hopes for VR next gen:
- Full Body Tracking. Come on, Oculus!
- Eye tracking with foveated rendering. Must reduce the power needs!
- More big-scale games. I need a true VRMMORPG!
- Bigger community.

"ASW 2.0 in Action
ASW 2.0 asks developers to expose depth information. With the Rift system interface Dash, the Oculus PC runtime already uses PTW to smooth performance, blending the Dash interface over an app’s depth-composition layers. As such, most Rift apps on the Oculus Store built on Unreal Engine 4 and Unity already provide the depth information required to make ASW 2.0 work. As more apps provide this information, ASW 2.0 support will become increasingly ubiquitous."
Obduction really needs ASW 2.0 - and Lone Echo ss 2.0
ASW 2.0 could be a true life saver, cheap "2080 Ti"-ish performance

Dean Beeler:
Both are Oculus' software engineers. Maybe more persons helped, but these two guys posted the ASW 2.0 news on the Oculus' blog.
Yup - that's what it takes to get your picture in the paper!
PS. Brendan Iribe may have been behind much of the ASW 2.0 work too:
"Ask not what VR can do for you – ask what you can do for VR"

No re-compiling necessary I don't think, it should just work. As far as I know the Unreal Engine doesn't do this automatically so you'll need to turn it on and re-compile then re-Submit it to the Oculus Store or do this with an update.
I'm waiting on a couple of plugins to get sorted out for 4.22 and I'll start working on my game again soon.

"Update: We’ve confirmed that ASW 2.0 is live for all users running the latest Oculus software update (not the Public Test Channel)."

So Oculus sent out a signal and now it's switched on even using 1.36??? Because the latest software update is 1.36 - or maybe a small package arrived yesterday? (It's been a few days since I used my Rift, had to watch some Love, a bit of Death and a lot of Robots
I have high hopes for ASW 2.0 - if we're lucky then:

Ouch, it looks weird.
I've tried to record as well, but Home + Mirror + OBS Studio is too much for my rig xD! It stutters too much.
Anyway, I don't see this problem.
Did you see that in the headset as well (I mean, without recording), or was this just during recording?
My guess is it does that when the FPS gets below 40.
You should do your recording again with the Visual HUD set to "Performance" in the Debug Tool, it will show you the FPS. If it stays around 45, ASW is on and works very well. If it gets below 40, ASW is still on but obviously doesn't work as well, which is probably why you see this stuff.

- Eye tracking with foveated rendering. Must reduce the power needs!
- More big-scale games. I need a true VRMMORPG!
- Bigger community.
